five years from and after the ratifi-
cation and approval by the people
of the State of Nevada of an amend
ment to Section twenty -four, Arti-
Gle four, of the Constitution of the
State of Nevada, authorizing the
Legislature to provide for the or
ganization and incorporation of

to designate the amount of revenue
that shall be annually paid into the
State Treasury by said corporation.

ton Of gifts and prizes by said cor
poration shall be managed and d.
rected by Board of Managers to

terly into the State Treasury, ex-
cept the first payment of twenty

i6cation and adoption by the peo-

Sec. 5-All money paid into the

ions of this Act shall, and the same
is hereby set apart, and shall con-
stitute a special fund, to be known
as the Irrigation Fund.
Sec. 6-The corporation author
lied to be created under the pro-

obligations, this Act shall be treat
ed as contract between the State

Sec This Act shall take eff
feet and be in force from and after
the ratification and adoption by the
people of the State of Nevada of
the amendment to Section twenty
four, Article four, of the Constitu-
ton of the State of Nevada, refer
red to in this Act.
As will be seen, it removes all
Constitutional objection to be found
in Boyle's Senate Bill 100, as it
leaves the matter entirely with the
people TO reject or ratify. Such a
bill will place $4,000 each session
in the Treasury for the benefit of
the State, and it is not believed
that the Governor will deny the
people the opportunity of publicly
expressing themselves upon the
matter. The best lawyers hold it
to be perfectly Constitutional.
